Can I write off Camera Equipment in Canada?

YES (CCA CLASS 8/50)

Explanation

Camera bodies and lenses used for business (photography, videography, content creation) are capital assets. Most fall under CCA Class 8 (20%). Accessories like memory cards and small items can often be expensed immediately as supplies.

💡 Pro Tip

If you use the camera for both personal and business, only the business-use percentage is deductible. Keep a log if the CRA ever asks.
